Ohio Gov. Kasich appoints first all-white cabinet (20 seats) since 1963

[No Passaran]

The last Ohio governor with an all-white Cabinet was Mike DiSalle; he left office in 1963, when Kasich was 10 years old.

5. I didn't vote for the bastard.

But yeah, I may not be ashamed, but I can't exactly claim to be proud either. More like disgusted at the stupidity of my neighbors.

4. Calm down. There's a reasonable explantion for this.

There weren't more seats to appoint whites to.

6. It's not easy to find African-American Republicans

I'd say that's what this is about more than anything else. Apparently Ken Blackwell now works for the Family Research Council. I guess he couldn't be bothered. I wonder if anyone on the transition team noticed this monochromatic situation and said anything about it ahead of time?

7. However, it will be BYOH
